I dropped my brain!
Ouch!
Actually, I dropped my PDA... on a soft floor! No damage done.
But it jarred the battery. And lost *everything* on the device. Thank the fates that I had sync'ed it to my PC just minutes before hand!
Of course, I didn't notice that it had reset until I had an idea I wanted to jot down at a stoplight. Argh!
I'm down to my backup brain! And it's all squishy...
I don't think that the iPaq is supposed to reset with momentary power loss. In fact, you should be able to remove the primary battery for up to ten minutes and still keep the RAM alive. You know, with the internal backup battery thing.
Apparently, that doesn't work.
I'll have to smack around HP now, I guess. I left the device in the truck (in the shade! And I left a bowl of water for it in the back, too, so it wouldn't overheat), so I can't go to customer support RIGHT NOW and harass them.
My poor brain.
